星期天有openhouse,星期六一直在赶工。本来以为可以睡个懒觉,不到9点水管工就打电话来,说他们在等着装厕所。我还没买呢。因为他们每次上来都快中午,没想到这天准时。急忙起来到supplier处买马桶。supplier没有比较好的,然后到附近高级一点的店去。blackman的价钱比HD估计要贵上15%,没办法,时间就是一切,只好pickup,deliver到公寓。工人在等,电梯不给上,说,周末不能开[

项目接近尾声的时候最吃力。细节需要更多精力。
本来应该做的他们竟然不会,一天到晚敷衍。付了钱还要求爷爷告奶奶似的叫他们回
来完工。一气之下我自己找到解决办法。打个电话让他们给我credit,把问题解决
了。
想难倒我,没那么容易。

最近很忙,有点焦头烂额。
Project不能说不顺,但也不完全顺利,总有那么一点点意外,都被我解决掉。比预算多花了
些钱,没有办法的事-把墙打掉之后发现电线,要重新走线,为安全计,找持牌电
工,虽然和我有点交情,钱却照算。还好那部分以前谈价钱的时候没包括在内,因
为当时他们没打算改设计。现在跟他们收个成本,不赚钱就是了。

小project开工了。前一两天顺利异常,第三天情况有变。第四天电梯维修,什么也做不成,第5天联系好的containercompany不来,说垃圾太少,不清。临急联络另一个contractor,他的container因为没有地方park,来了却不能deliver.我把工人叫回去打framing,不然浪费工时,尽管不是我的钱,也要替别人省。看来不容易,清一个垃圾都头痛成这样,早知如此,就不建议朋友把墙打掉建walk-incloset了[
